I can't bring myself to take them seriously.

They are actually melodic metalcore, but that doesn't matter. Their lyrics are actually about self-empowerment, a common theme in hardcore and metalcore. There are a couple songs about love and death, which I suppose could classify them as "emo".
I'm not defending Howard-era KSE, however there are a considerable amount of melodic metalcore bands that are MUCH worse (ex: All That Remains, In This Moment, etc.). I guess I don't understand the point of this thread. It says worst/most comical/most embarrassing metal bands, so I figured it would be reserved for the ABSOLUTE worst. KSE isn't good IMO (post-Jesse Leach), but they certainly aren't the worst.
PS. Manowar definitely deserves a place in this thread
